The New Presbyterian Church Dedicated
with Appropriate Services.

The New Presbyterian Church Deiicated
sa with Appropriate Services. $ u y
The new Presbyterian church at Ster-
ling was dedicated on Sabbath, May /, at
II a. m. A large audience gathered in the
handsome chapel and enjoyed the interest
ing exercises. Some of those present rode
for twelve miles, which, in view Of the Sc
we're weather, showed commendable in
terest The sermon was preached by Rev.
C. B. Austin. Rev. W. G. Gibson, pastor of
the church, made financial statement
and offered the dedication prayer. The
building seats about 175 and is great
credit and ornament to the town. The
cost was nearly two thousand dollars,
most of which came from eastern friends
and from the board of church erection. A
tablet to the left of the pulpit has this in
scription: "This church, as memorial to
Nancy Milliken Reed, was built A. D. 1886
from funds mainly contributed by her
children" The names of the children are
Samuel Miliken, Jr., James Milliken and
Miss Marian Milliken.
Liberal donations came from Miss Mary
Beattie, of Philadelphia, Pa; the First
church of Philadelphia, the church and
Sunday school of Lewistown, Pa, and the
church Of Fremont, Ohio. The organ was
presented by Mrs. Mccormack, Of Lewis
town, Pa. The pulpit Bible, a beautiful
book, bound in velvet, was presented by
Mrs. Elizabeth Hoffman, Of St. Paul. The
hymn book was purchased with money
found in the little book of Ira Houtz Brat
ton after his death, and sent by his af-
flicted parents as q testimonial. The lots
on which the building stands were pre-
sented to the society by the Rev. $. h.
Thompson. Many other friends took a
practical interest in the enterprise by way
of liberal gifts. Too much credit cannot
be given to Mrs. Jane E. Buoy, of Sterling,
who toiled early and late, and whose un-
firing activity is thus so abundantly re-
warded.
The music for the occasion was given by
the choir of the church, under the leader
ship of W. 81. Bratton. and was very fine
The church at Sterling has reason to be
greatly encouraged, and under the efficient
pastor will be sure of a future of great
usefulness.

in the Atheneum, presenting Carmille, in
which her most attractive triumphs have
been scored. AS am eminent critic has
said, she brings to highly cultured mind
the priceless gifts of youth, beauty and
ovations in every city she has visited, hay-

praise and homage. Artistic graceful.
fascinating and emotional, she raises the
audience to an intensity Of interest that

Territorial Insurance.

F. j. Gail & Co.'s agency of this city has
written policies for the insurance of the
territorial buildings, covering the entire
list of public institutions in the territory.
The amount insured exceeds $5OOOOO, and
is the largest insurance deal ever made
west of Minneapolis. The companies rep
resented are among the best in the world,
and the people of the territory are to be
congratulated that their public buildings
are now protected against loss.
BY placing the insurance in this way
there is saving to the territory of 20 per
cent, or over $4,000 less than it would have
cost to have accepted the rates of the local
boards.

Gates may be revoked by the county super

lntendent.
Members of township school boards are
to receive but 81 per year for their services;
clerks and treasurers may be paid from $15
to $25 per year for their services by the
school board.
County commissioners do not examine
the reports of clerks and treasurers, as
heretofore.
Township school boards with the aid Of
county superintendent are to fix the grades
of teachers salaries, regulating them in ac-
cordance with the grade of certificates
held by them-first, second and third This
is to be done at the July meeting.
County superintendents should aid in
the matter Of grading salaries in all posi-
BILE ways. The argument offered that some
teachers with second grade certificates
teach better schools than others holding
first grades, is not tenable. This condition
will not exist to any great extent when
comfy superintendents give all teachers
proper credit for their "aptness to teach
and govern" as the law provides they
shall do

What Is Being Done?

& ~
The railroad committee has been doing
its best to raise funds, but there is still a
large amount necessary to secure the grad
ing Of the Aberdeen, Bismarck & North
western road to Bismarck during the pres
ent year. The young men of the city are
agitating the question of organizing a
young mems club and contributing re-
spectacle amount to the fund. Many of
the largest property owners in the city are
still among the laggards, and the people
are anxiously waiting for them to step to
the front and show their colors. The Boy
colt articles come to the TRIBUNE daily,
and several of them now upon the desk
contain the names of men for whom the
boycott is recommended. The TRIBUNE
does not feel disposed to injure business
men of the city and will suppress these
communications as long as it can be justi-
fed in so doing, but the paper cannot long
refuse to give the people a hearing in its
columns. The voice of the people may
not always be the voice of God, but it is
ALWAYS loud and earnest and is worthy of
respect. 1t is not only entertaining and
enllvening, but it commands.

The Fire.

The fire bell rang Tuesday morning at
8 o'clock and the fire department re-
sponded promptly to extinguish the flames
in the old Falconer boarding house on the
corner of First and Thayer streets. The
flames were easily extinguished and but
very little damage was done by the fire.
The Pioneer Hose company No. 1 respond
ed with its usual promptness, but the fire
was too. far distant to be reached by the hose
which was badly damaged by teams and
wagons passing over it while it y was
stretched on Main street.
A FIRE ALARE SYSTEM.
The result of Tuesdays fire and the
confusion occasioned by misunderstand-
ing as to its location, has called forth dis
cussion Of the question Of establishing a
fire alarm system, which will give the de-
partment an opportunity to do justice to
itself and to the city. A good system of
street alarms can be established for few
hundped dollars and it is believed it would
save many thousands of dollars to the city.
Let the matter be agitated.

Reliable and Always the Same.

Brandreth's Pills are the oldest, safest
and best blood purifier and purgative
known. They are purely vegetable, there
fore harmless. They are always the same
and always produce the same effect. Other
purgatives require increased doses and
finally cease acting altogether. A course
of one or two of Brandreth's pills taken
each night is positive cure for constipa-
ton, headache, and all bilious disorders.
If you can't take them plain get them

Michael MahOn's Suicide.

tiAt about 3 o'clock Wednesday afternoon
Michael Mahon, of Mandan, committed
suicide in the kitchen at the rear of his
restaurant. Mr.. Mahon had many
friends and acquaintances in Bismarck and
Mandan, and leaves a wife and three child
ren. Mr.. G. R. Williams, of this CITY, was
in Mandan Wednesday, and calling upon
Mahon at his place of business few re-
marks were exchanged, and although Ma
hon was not in his brightest mood he gave
little evidence of desperation. Mr.. Will
iams remarked that times did not seem
very lively in Mandan.
NO." replied Mahon, lit is very dull"
Mr.. Williams told him that as the North
ern Pacific road was about to put number
OF men at work in the town times would
be better, especially for the restaurants.
81 hope so," replied Mahon, and after a
short conversation in this vein, Mr.. Viii
llams left the restaurant to call upon others
among his Mandan friends
Az about 3 O'Clock a citizen Of
Mandan went into the restaurant
and finding no one in, cried out iocosely.
Hello, here, isn't there proprietor to this
George Joy happened in at this time and
WaIkeu 0ack CnrOugn the dining room and
into the kitchen. After opening the door
formed the bystanders that Mahon had
been killed. An investigation proved that
he had borrowed razor from the nearest
barber shop, and going to the kitchen he
cut his throat A revolver was in his
hand, but at first no bullet wound was
found. careful examination proved
that after cutting his throat,
he had placed the muzzle of the revolver
in his mouth and pulled the trigger, the
bal! passing through the roof of his mouth
and into his head.
1t is sad case, as his wife is most ad-
mirable lady and he leaves three pretty
children fatherless. Dependency over
ii nancial affairs is believed to be the cause
his terrible act, as he had his property
mortgaged and he was unable to pay
the taxes. Mrs. Mahon is cousin to Mr.
Ed. Drury, who is we'll known in this city.
